--- Quote End --- I have edited the class.ptf edgewise and otherwise but cannot get good comms.Maybe it is a speed problem? I have tested it down to GERMS level. Can't get data in or out. I know it should work. Will probably have to rewrite everything from scratch. You see this is the problem I have with Altera. The CS8900 is a slow device, i.e. legacy, i.e. no or faultly support. What Altera needs to keep in mind is that, apart from all the 1000s of kits sold that never ends up in commercial products, there are people like me that has quite a few of the designs out there. I still have APEX 20k100 designs running with NIOS 1 ver 3. Don't seem to have support for that chip anymore in NIOS2. Can't just go to 7 sites and rip out and replace boards. So I have to keep my old dev tools alive to support it. Which brings me to the next question. When is Altera going to discontinue support on the Cyclone I chips? That will really screw me. The one reason why I 'like' NIOS is that I can continually improve my clients systems without doing anything to the hardware (i.e soldering). Having to rewrite ptf files, lib files GERMS monitors etc. is wasting my time. VictorS
